Ye Tang quickly pulled up the recordings from a surveillance camera in the other direction of the shop. “Fortunately, there’s a shorter surveillance camera placed on the opposite side. If the fly was really spat out by you, it would definitely be captured.”

Ye Tang quickly pulled up the surveillance footage and paused it at the exact moment Su Qiang was eating the cake. She slowed down the playback for everyone to see. The footage was projected onto a state-of-the-art projector, providing a crystal-clear image.

Su Qiang was a little flustered. He looked at the surveillance camera without blinking. Who would have thought that there was also a surveillance camera on the bookshelf opposite? It was hidden too well. Perhaps it could really be captured. If it was exposed, all his previous efforts would be wasted today. What should he do? However, he could not stop Ye Tang from playing it. Otherwise, he would be suspected of having a guilty conscience.

On the screen, after Su Qiang cut the cake, he lowered his head and quickly spat the black thing in his mouth into the cake. It was so fast that the surveillance camera could not capture it clearly. That thing really looked like a fly.

Ye Tang looked at Su Qiang. “Sir, how do you explain this? What did you spit on the cake?” He couldn’t quibble now, right?

Su Qiang promised solemnly, “That’s a piece of raisin. The surveillance camera is too blurry, so it was taken in a rather dark manner. It’s definitely not a fly!” Anyway, he would refuse to admit it. The surveillance camera did not capture it clearly.

“Bullsh*t. That fly was clearly spat out of your mouth, yet you still refuse to admit it!” Wang Xi argued. Zhuang Qing also stood firmly behind her.

Su Qiang sneered and looked disdainful. “Listen to this. This child’s mouth is full of vulgarities. It’s not worth believing at all. Can you believe her? I can’t be bothered to argue with you.” He crossed his arms and looked at the people around him.

Beside her, Liu Ling’s expression softened a little. “Forget it, forget it. We’ll just want a refund of this cake and ten times the compensation.” She would get as much as she could. If they continued to investigate, she was really afraid that they would find real evidence.

At the side, Zhang Qi suddenly remembered. “This gentleman hasn’t spoken since he entered. He seems to have something in his mouth.” She believed this little girl’s words. There was no need for Wang Xi to perjure herself.

Zhang Qi picked up the fly and pinched it. She said to everyone, “I found evidence.”

Everyone stuck their heads out to take a look.

Su Qiang’s face turned pale and he said angrily, “You’re lying. What kind of evidence is this? It’s just that your cake is unhygienic!” At this moment, he felt very guilty. Could it be that she had really found some flaw?

Zhang Qi sneered. “This fly has been fried. The edges of its stomach are golden and its wings are charred. However, all the ingredients of the cake are baked. It can’t produce such an effect.” She showed the fly to the onlookers.

Someone leaned forward and took a sniff. “There’s a burnt fragrance on it, showing that it has been fried. Smell it.”

“That’s right, that’s right. This couple is obviously here to extort money!”

“Shameless couple. How are you both acting like parents? Is this how you take care of your child?”

“Call the police!”

At this moment, everyone around understood.

Ye Tang looked at the couple. “What else do you have to say? If you don’t leave now, I’m going to call the police.”

The couple left dejectedly with the child. Before Su Qiang left, he glared at Wang Xi and warned her in a low voice, “Be careful. Don’t let me see you again. If I see you again, I’ll break one of your legs.”

Wang Xi was not afraid at all. She made a face. “I’m not afraid!” Anyway, she was the righteous party.

Zhuang Qing stood in front of Wang Xi and glared at Su Qiang. “Get lost quickly, or else I’ll call the police to arrest you for intimidation. Damn liar!”

The family of three finally left, and the entire dining room returned to calm. The onlookers gradually dispersed.

Ye Tang said to the guests, “I apologize for any inconvenience. To make amends, all desserts today will be 10% off. Please continue enjoying your meal. Also, we invite you to visit our kitchen through the viewing window anytime. You’ll see for yourselves how clean and hygienic our workspace is.”

“Okay!”

“Thank you, boss!”

“You’re too kind, Ms. Ye.”

“We’re all loyal customers. We’ll come again.”

“Thank you for your hard work, boss.”

When the matter was finally settled, Ye Tang pulled Wang Xi and Zhuang Qing to one side. She brought the two of them to an empty table and got them to sit down. With her hands on her hips, she asked, “Tell me, what do you want to eat? You guys have contributed greatly today.”

If Wang Xi had not pointed it out, they would not have been able to solve the problem so quickly. Zhuang Qing looked embarrassed. He did not say anything and looked at Wang Xi beside him. He did not help much.

Wang Xi had a proud look on her face as she looked up at the other corners. “I don’t want to help you. I just don’t like that person. You just happened to benefit from it.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Hurry up and see what dessert you want to eat!” Zhang Qi smiled and brought the menu over as she said crisply.
